I’m M. Brandon Smith, a partner at Childers, Schlueter & Smith in Atlanta, Georgia, helping injured people nationwide with pharmaceutical litigation, mass torts, product liability, and serious personal injury cases.
I have dedicated my career to representing people harmed by dangerous drugs, defective medical devices, and other products. After earning my law degree from the University of Georgia School of Law in 2004, I served as an assistant district attorney in the Alcovy Circuit, where I gained trial experience and developed a passion for advocating for individuals wronged by the careless actions of others.
For the past 16 years, I’ve focused my practice on complex injury cases across the country, from Camp Lejeune water contamination to mass torts involving medical devices and pharmaceuticals. I regularly speak at legal seminars nationwide, sharing strategies on handling high-stakes litigation.
Licensed in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, I appear in multiple state and federal courts and serve on leadership committees in national multidistrict litigation. My work is guided by a simple principle: people who have been hurt deserve strong, informed, and determined advocacy.
Pharmaceutical Litigation — Representing individuals harmed by unsafe prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
Mass Torts — Coordinating large-scale cases involving dangerous products that injure many people nationwide.
Product Liability — Holding manufacturers accountable for defective and unsafe consumer and medical products.
Serious Personal Injury — Pursuing justice for those facing life-changing injuries from negligence.
Medical Device Litigation — Representing clients injured by defective implants, surgical devices, and other medical products.
Catastrophic Injury Cases — Handling high-damage cases requiring substantial investigation and expert support.
What issues do you handle first for new clients? I start by listening to their story, reviewing their situation, and determining the best legal options based on the facts and applicable law.
How do consultations work? I offer free initial consultations to review a potential case and explain possible next steps.
Do you take referrals/co-counsel? Yes — I work with other attorneys on complex cases and welcome referrals.
